Toe Socks are More Than a Fashion Statement!

Friday, January 27, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Injinji Outdoor Nuwool Quarter Toe SockOften when people first think of toe socks they think of the fun knee-highs that often come in rainbow colors, with each toe decorated in a different hue. While these socks definitely are fun and let you show off your personality, there are other types of these socks, such as Injinji toe socks that hold many more benefits than just simply being fun to wear.

Toe socks can help prevent blisters in between the toes, a soft area where blisters can be especially painful due to the constant friction of the toes rubbing together. And have you ever tried to put on socks under a pair of flip-flops? While socks are sometimes necessary under flip flops, especially when you are walking for a long time, wearing a regular pair can be extremely uncomfortable when worn in this fashion. Instead, socks that come with a split toe are the perfect walking socks when you need the best of both worlds.

Of course, if you’re just looking for comfort socks that also have a little flair to them, the colorful toe socks that were the first to showcase the many benefits (and the unique style!) are always a good choice. But you’re still not limited to just the rainbow. These socks come in a huge variety of patterns and styles so that you can pick a sock to fit your mood, and keep your feet healthy all at the same time!

 

What are Quarter Diabetic Socks?

Thursday, January 26, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Diabetic socks have many great features to them, but so often people mistakenly think that these socks only come in full-length knee-high styles. While these are the most popular type of socks for diabetics, they’re certainly not the only style available.

Smartwool Women's Unwound Non-Bind CrewQuarter socks are also available for diabetics, which still have all of the features of the non-binding socks typically seen in socks for diabetics, but even more so! Quarter socks for diabetics only reach just above the ankle, and so they are especially ideal for people who are bothered by even the slightest elastic or binding feel of socks that sometimes come with crew socks. Diabetics who suffer from severe neuropathy often find this slight binding feeling to be too much to bear.

Quarter socks for diabetics are also called diabetic tennis socks because the two look so similar. However, the two are very different. Quarter socks for diabetics still come with all the features that you’d find in socks for diabetics, such as the extra padding that protects sensitive feet from blisters, and a non-abrasive seam to keep feet from becoming irritated and developing sores so common in the feet of diabetics.

At Amazing Socks we have everything for a diabetic’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a full-length sock to come up right over your calf, or you need a quarter sock that won’t be quite as uncomfortable, we have many different styles to keep you and your feet happy and healthy!

Boxers or Briefs?

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Yes, it’s the age-old question for many men – boxers or briefs? Really, it’s just a matter of comfort for most men. But, does one hold certain advantages over another?

High-quality boxers such as Munsingwear boxers can be more comfortable for many men Munsingwear Mid Rise Pouch Brief - 3 Packbecause they aren’t as constrictive and allow for more air flow. Some men also like the fact that the front openings on boxers are larger and therefore easier to use. Of course, some men just prefer boxers because they can be worn around the home just like shorts and they can also improve the look of a man’s physique if he’s a little self-conscious about his middle section.

But boxers aren’t everything in men’s underwear! Of course there are briefs too, and these also come with their own advantages. Start by choosing a quality name like Munsingwear briefs to find comfortable briefs that won’t bunch or bulge, and that will provide ultimate support, complete with elasticized legs.

Many times people think that boxer-briefs are the only solution when men want to get the best of both worlds, but thermal underwear can be too – especially in these colder months! Thermal underwear won’t bunch up underneath pants and still provide the utmost in support but they’re also not constricting, allowing for air flow and more comfort, just as boxers do.

Whether you’re looking for boxers, briefs, thermals, and yes, even boxer briefs, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have everything you need to keep you in ultimate comfort whatever your preference is! 

 

Choosing Rain Boots for Children

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Kids need all kinds of different boots, especially if you live in an area that experiences many different seasons and climates. One type of boot that needs to be a part of every child’s Kamik Kid's Snowkone 5 Insulated Rubber Bootswardrobe, no matter where they live, is rain boots. Rain boots are important to keep your child’s feet warm and dry when it’s drizzly outside, and they come in all kinds of fun colors to make splashing in puddles even more fun!

You might not think that the color of your child’s rain boots matters very much, but they certainly will! And the more they like the color, the more likely they are to actually wear the boots! Kamik boots come in different colors for both boys and girls. Choose lilac for that princess in your life and see how excited she is, or choose a navy color for that little man and make him feel just like his daddy!

These boots have a removable liner, for those days when it’s more wet than cold, and have a drawstring that will keep both rain and snow out!

Frostbite Comes Fast, But the Right Boots Can Help!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Did you know that when you’re not wearing the proper footwear during the winter frostbite Sorel Women's Wicked Work Bootscan develop in just a matter of minutes? Frostbite is most likely to occur on areas of the body that are furthest away from the heart. And your feet are about as far from your heart as you can get! This is why proper winter boots might be the most important part of your winter gear.

Styles such as ankle boots or hiking boots are not proper boots to be wearing during the winter months, as they simply do not protect your feet enough. Unfortunately, too many people think that these types of ankle boots are perfect for cold weather, before finding out too late that they are not. When the temperature is below freezing outside, and especially if conditions are snowy and icy, you need long boots that travel at least to the mid-calf to keep out all of the harsh elements. You can even find boots, such as Sorel boots that also come lined with fleece or faux fur to keep your feet even warmer.

And don’t forget about what goes inside your boots either – you need the right socks! In this case, hiking socks such as Smartwool socks can do double duty, keeping your feet warm and wicking away moisture at the same time so it doesn’t sit on the skin.

We have everything you need to keep your feet warm and frost-bite free during the colder months. Just stop in at Amazing Socks and see how we can help!

If you plan to dress to impress, it is essential that you look into every detail of your ensemble, which means, taking time to choose the right kind of socks to match your attire.

How Thermals Work

Saturday, December 31, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
Winter is the time of the year when you take out your winter essentials to stay warm. With the countless thermals on the market today, have you ever wondered how thermals work?

Cold Pruf ThermalsThermals are often made of 2 layers of fabric. They trap cold air and use your body heat to warm the trapped air. The trapped air combins with the continued heat your body produces keeping you warm and comfortable. Other thermals also have a wicking feature. This keeps moisture and sweat away from the skin. The wicking feature also prevents body odor.

Indera Men's ThermalsThermals, like Cold Pruf Thermals, are made from natural and man-made fibers. When Merino wool and polyester fiber is combined, you get maximum warmth, comfort, dryness and odor control. 

You will find different types of thermals on the market. Some people like to go for sleeveless vests while others prefer long-sleeved thermal tops and long johns. It is always a good idea to have a mix of the different types of thermal underwear for different weather temps and conditions.

Save on your thermal wear by getting them from Amazing Socks. You'll be able to buy some of the most popular brands like Cold Pruf and Indera Men's Thermals at discounted prices.




How to Wash SmartWool Socks

Saturday, December 31, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
SmartWool socks can be a dream. They can often be the only things to warm us up on a chilly day and are great for taking along on a hike or camping trip, because they dry quickly and are lightweight, despite their ability to retain heat. But, these wool socks can quickly be ruined if you wash and/or dry them improperly even once.

Point 6 Snowboard Light Cushion Over the CalfThe most important thing to know about these wool socks is that they should never be placed in a washing machine or a dryer. Wool, while being incredible durable during wear, becomes quite fragile in the rigors of the washing machine and this can cause them to quickly lose their shape. Socks from Smartwool are Merino wool socks, and as such they are a bit more durable than other types of wool. But a washing machine will still cause them to become misshapen and will also make them shrink.  

You can wash wool socks by soaking them in lukewarm water with a  small amount of detergent (that you’ve spot-tested beforehand, of course.) If you’re washing a pair of kids’ Smartwool socks, or another pair that’s especially dirty, gently but firmly rub detergent in circular motions with your hands before placing under running water to rinse clean. After you’ve washed your wool socks, lay them flat to dry, but make sure that air can circulate fully around the socks to allow them to dry even more quickly and thoroughly.

When you’re looking for the best wool socks to keep you warm during even the coldest nights, visit us at Amazing Socks. We’ll give you a huge selection, and some tips on caring for those items too!

Compression Socks are Great Travel Companions

Friday, December 30, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
Sitting for hours in a plane, train or car can be very uncomfortable, especially if you don't have enough leg room; add to this the pressure you get from wearing constricting socks and shoes. These factors may impede blood flow to your lower extremities. If you are not able to stretch your legs and change positions, you will eventually feel tingling sensations in your legs and may even notice that they have started to swell. When this happens, standing up or moving around may be too late and may even just make the discomfort worse.

compression socksAvoid travel discomforts by wearing compression socks. These type of socks look like your ordinary socks but offer a lot more for your feet. These socks ensure blood flows properly to your lower extremities even if you are in one position for a long time. You can find a great pair from Fox River Socks. A pair of Fox River Fatigue Fighter compression socks supports blood vessels, thereby promoting blood flow, through its graduated compression knit. Its ribbed leg helps prevent pinching and fatigue. To avoid blisters and odor, this pair of socks has cushioned soles and can effectively keep moisture away from your feet.

Hiker Street Crew Kids SmartWool Socks for Kids On-The-Go

Friday, December 30, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
Active kids should have proper foot gear to prevent injuries and blisters from ruining their performance. Socks provide cushioning and protect feet from friction against the insole of the shoes. When choosing the right socks, the thickness should be just right. Very thick socks can cause sweating even when idle while thin socks may not provide enough protection against blisters. They should also be flexible so that it doesn't hinder the movement of the feet.

Kids SmatWool SocksAn ideal sock for kids on-the-go is the SmartWool Kid's Hiker Street Crew Sock. The fabric is made of Merino wool and nylon mix for excellent cushioning and protection against blisters.

They also allow good ventilation to cool the feet during hot weather. Another good feature is that they draw moisture away from the skin and repel moisture to avoid the feeling of wetness.

The Every Day Sock

Friday, December 30, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
As people continue to try and improve their own health in everything they do, and wanting to be as comfortable as possible when they do it, there’s a lot of talk about socks and which ones are best for your feet. While there are many specialized socks ranging from compression socks to double layer socks, which ones are best for every day? And which ones are best for just wearing around the house, or running a few errands?

ProFeet USPS Black Cushioned Health SockReally any sock that you find comfortable is going to be the perfect sock for every day; and you’ll still benefit from the features that come with athletic socks, even if you’re not really sweating it out while in them. But you may not need all of those features, and you should keep in mind that while nice, you may not want to pay for them all either.

Health socks can be a great option for those that are looking for an everyday sock, especially those with sensitive skin.  These socks are especially made for those that have a bad reaction to the dyes found in many fabrics. By wearing them, you’re keeping your feet protected from irritants all day long, so you won’t even have to think about your feet. Plus, these socks are made from a fabric of cotton and acrylic blend. This is ideal for when you just need a really comfortable sock because the cotton, which can’t be found in athletic socks, provides that comfort; and the acrylic allows it to still be breathable and well-ventilated.

When looking for the perfect sock, make sure you come check out our huge selection at Amazing Socks. We not only have everyday socks, but everyday discounts too! 

What are Merino Wool Socks?

Thursday, December 29, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
There’s been a lot of buzz in the sock world lately about Merino wool socks, those socks that come from halfway around the world, and are just about the softest and warmest thing you could wrap your feet in. But just what are these socks?

Smartwool Men's Nailhead Grid Crew SockMerino wool comes from the Merino sheep, a type of sheep found in New Zealand and that’s thought to have the softest and most envied wool of any other type of sheep, When these sheep are shorn for their wool and that wool is made into socks, it becomes something that’s not only soft and warm, but that will also help protect your feet.

Smartwool Socks is one company that’s becoming extremely popular in the world of wool socks, and this is because these socks use that precious wool of the Merino sheep. And from the minute you slip them on, you’ll see (or rather feel,) why Merino wool is truly something special. But Smartwool adds their own uniqueness to these socks, and that’s the truly “smart” fabric of keratin, also found in the sock. It’s this fabric that makes these socks resistant to bacteria, keeping your feet cleaner and healthier.

But just because it comes all the way from New Zealand doesn’t mean that these socks have to cost you a fortune. At Amazing Socks, we don’t just have Smartwool sales, we discount Smartwool socks every single day. So stop by whenever you want to treat yourself, or anybody else, to the world’s finest wool!
